Everyday Northwest

You are invited to "Come Sail Away" with legendary rock band Styx as the west coast swing of their 2025 tour rolls through the Pacific Northwest. They've already sold out their gig at Spirit Mountain Casino next month and they'll also play Bend and Ridgefield in June. Our Nicole DeCosta recently caught up with a member of the band.

And now it's time for The Pet Of The Week, presented by BarkZone! Each week, we are featuring an animal that needs a new forever home, and we want to help you to find a pet to love, too! Today's Pet Of The Week is Frosty! Frosty is a three year old Siberian Husky. He's described as a sweet, goofy and chill dog and according to the Oregon Humane Society, he's a graduate of the behavior modification program. That means his new family will need to continue to his training. So Frosty is looking for a special home. He's a best fit for a low traffic place, without young children, because his play style is a bit rough and tumble. So if you would like to consider bringing this little furball into your home, look for the code number 3-1-5 4-1-5 at OregonHumane.org. While you're there, you can also peruse other pets looking for forever homes.

And with their upcoming events like a trip to Tillamook, Karaoke, and a self defense class, there's so much to get excited for! We were joined by Emily Snieksa as she shared more about this amazing group!
